Compyle is a collaborative coding agent that prioritizes human oversight rather than running fully autonomously. Unlike agents that operate independently for long stretches, Compyle asks clarifying questions before acting, produces planning artifacts, and validates changes against user decisions to keep engineers in control. The goal is to avoid treating code as a black box that becomes difficult to maintain. Compyle is based in San Francisco and is part of Y Combinator's Fall 2025 batch.
